Solution

Calculating the required volume:
Given, $125 cm long, 37 cm wide, and 68 cm high$
The given box is therefore a cuboid.
We know that the volume of a cuboid is,
$= length \times width \times height$
Therefore, the volume of the box is,
$\begin{array}{rcl} Volume & = & l \times w \times h \\ = & 125 \times 37 \times 68 \\ = & 314500 {cm}^{3} \\ = & 3.145 \times 10^{5} {cm}^{3} \end{array}$
Hence, the required volume of the box is $3.145 \times 10^{5} {cm}^{3}$ .
